COOKING SPECIFICATION forming part o f Letters Patent No. 378,074, d'a'drebmary 21.188723.Y

Application inea January 14, isst.

throughthe ordinar'yistovev and they pipe counected thereto to the outside of thebuildingj To all whom it 17T/ayconcerm lBe it known thatl, ALEXANDER ANDERsoN, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident of London, in the Province ofy On- 5 tario, Canada, machinist, have invented a certain new and useful Cooking-Stove, of ywhich the following is a specification. y

This invention relates tol a close tire-place for cooking; andthe object of this invention space as well as expense in manufacturing a cooking-stove; audit consists of the improved construction and combination of parts of the same, as will be hereinafter more fully de-- I5 scribed and claimed, refereucebei'ug hadvto the accompanying drawings, whereiuy Figure l is a perspective view of a stove enibodying my invention. Fig. 2 is another-per spectiveview of same, partly in section. Fig. zo 3 is an enlarged detail perspective View of a grate which rests ou the inclined re-bottom,

and in which coal is consumed when this classA of fuel is used in this stove. I

A designates the body of the stove, courial; B, the sloping or inclined fire-bottom, and' C the top of the stove, constructed o f castfirou or other suitable material; D,`-the rash-pan to catch any re or ashes which may fallout air chamber between the end of the inclined'v fire-bottom and the back end ofthe stove. This cold-air chamber'E may be liuedwith rebrick or not, as required.

cold-air chamber E and outer air, and are for the purpose of permitting cold air to pass into kthe chamber E. Y The'cold 'air passes through the pipe F fronithe chamberE to the flue G ue G;y but when it is not convenient to use this stove with a flue G a cap, H, is placed on the outer end of pipe F, and the cover I is drawn from over the hole or perforation J,

cover is removed from theordinary stove and this stove placed' thereon, the `perforation in the bottom of this stove beingopposite the hole in the ordinary stove, when the cold air senti No. 188.546.` (Nmodeii L designates a door through whichthewood fuel ymay be placed on thelire-bottom B, on v whichY refbottoni B` thetire is kindled andthe y55 fuel consumed. A v

If it is desired to burn coal,a perforated cast. 'g ingvsimilar to a bowl or basket maybeplaced in the front of the stove through the hole N,

so 'that coal, wood, orany fuel may be lournedy 6o'A f in this stove.

NN are holes over which the c ookinguten` sils-such as tea-kettle, pots, 8va-containing the food to be `cooked are placed. ,The holes N N on this stove may be connected together 65VVV l by a bridge piece, so that this rstove maybe made to fit the Wash-boiler used ouan` ordi- 1 v nary cooking-stove; or the top' C of this'stove may be removed and the wash-boiler supported on-the upper edges ofthe body B, andthe. 7o,

holes. N N may be made any size that the holes in an ordinary stove are made, so that theirou I covers, as well as the wash-boiler, tea-kettle,

pots,`&c.,of .anystovein `present usewill t eqnallywell on this stove. When it is desired 7e3 to change the size of the holes N N to fit-a smaller kettle, itis done by placing a rig ou .vn

the inner edge of these holes N N,-so thatla kettle or pot ofv a smaller-size will fitthis stove.

Anvoveu may be placed'over one or bothof 8o,-

these holesN N. y f A This stove may be mounted on feet,.or`on a y hollow'platforrn oi sheet-iron or other suitable material; and fronipracticaltests of this stovey 'provided-with thiscold-,air chamberEandinf 78.5. v

clinedor sloping fire-bottom B ithas been v found that it will effectively cook the same yar'nonnt of food of any kind as .an ordinary stove, but with this great .advantage,that`it f only requires about one-eighth of the fuel vto 49o do the Same work that -is required by anordinary stove, thereby making a large saving in fuel to any person' using this stove; `and this stove is about seven or eighti'nfcheshigh, about twelve inches wide, and two feet six inches 95 long,so that itonlyoccupies a. verysmall space,j i-

and, being constructed from only a s'mall'qnanl, tity of sheet-iron and cast-iron, it isbuilty at-a very small expense, so that this stove not only 1 greatly ecouomizes fuel, but 'occupies oulyza Io0 Y small space and is built at a very small cost. A cast-iron flange or iire-brick `lining (represented by dotted lines r in Fig. 2) may extend up from the inclined fire-bottom B at the front and two sides, to protect the sheet-iron body A from the iire.

Having thus described my invention,wliat I claim as new, und desire to secure by Letters holes NN, cold-air chamber E, inclined or slop- 2 3 ing fire-bottom B, openings K, and perforation K, substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose specified.

3. In a summer-stove, the combination of the body A, formed with perforatious K in the 25 sides thereof, removable cover'C, formed with holes N N, cold-air chamber E, inclined orsloping fire-bottom B, openings K', pipe F, perforation J in the bottom of said stove, and adjustable cover I, substantially as shown and 3o described, and for the purpose specified.

*l* In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of the two undersigned witnesses.
